Nr. 437: Questions regarding giving tithes or of heart!

Nr. 437:
Questions regarding giving tithes or of heart!

Giving to Vision Norway is essentially the same supporting Satan when Pastor Jan Hanvold both doing heresy , living in sin and manipulative. It is the last activity Norwegian Christians and others should and should support. To support such . Us in Smyrna Oslo, then support than a business that is built around people who live and preach in accordance with God's word. This in turn creates confidence , joy and peace in the right way . It does nothing to give to Moldova and other projects when you live in sin and this is an excuse to live in sin .

1 Cor. 13 3 And if I give to feed others all my goods , and though I give my body to be burned , but have not love , it profits me nothing .

Jan and Inger Hanvold that is according to God's word his partner. Jesus said to the woman samritanske that the one you have now is not your husband, to Hanvold he said that the one you have now is not your wife



I had another question to the blog as well, you may have blogged it already, but the question is the following:

It comes to money , gifts , tenth etc. Firstly I practice tithing, and I think it belongs to the Lord , but that's not the point of my question .

1 I normally have given tithes to the local church I belong to, but I do not feel peace about it because the money goes to administration , salaries, operating church etc. ( cost level in Norway is not exactly low either) and it did not leave much progress for God rich . Feel it much more appropriate to give to something that pays off in the Kingdom of God with respect . the number of people you reach . Eg . Bibles for China , Missionary etc. etc ... Are there others who share my view here?

2 When we hear the teaching around around about tithing (especially on Vision Norway and others) that is often Malachi 3:10 and taking it out of context. Believes it is fundamental error to instruct you to give then to expect material blessing back in this life. Too much material wealth makes us corrupt ( just look at the average Norwegian Christians) We know that the Lord provides us with what we need (Matthew 6:25 ) and therefore when we give, give with joy , not to expect anything back here , but only expect to be rewarded in the next life for eternity. ( it makes sense / Biblical out ?)

3 Those who frequently teaches Journal , Malachi 3:10 and you will get back great blessing in this life are often the ones that have the highest cost and is therefore dependent on a lot of gifts to keep the wheels turning.

Do not know if you're 100 % agree with me then, but if you have time and opportunity could you write something on your blog about this?

Regards Hans Jørgen

Hello again Hans Jørgen !

You ask here about giving tithes or not I understand you correctly?

I do not think it is wrong to give tithing , but there are no orders to give tithe in the New Testament. Here is an article that is on our website :

Tithing !

Several times in the history of the church have groups of people attempted to introduce parts of the Mosaic law into the Christian faith. In Paul 's own time Judaists claimed that Christians were of other peoples than the Jews had to be circumcised before they could be saved. Paul fought against such ideas , and this writing he is also keen about in his letters .

Paul is not bare in his anger against such a thing, and say it as in a way trying to follow the law of Moses , has come out of grace in Christ , and that He wants those who circumcise himself had to cut off a certain body part in its attempt to "improve " the gospel.

Nowadays clutching among others Seventh- day Adventists on Sabbath and matforskriftene in the Old Testament. In the same way, trying most churches today maintain the Old Testament practice of tithing . The ruling also some confusion about what tithe really is something, and this is an attempt to clean up by looking at what both the Old and New Testament really teaches about tithing .

We shall see that Christians are obligated to tithe , but that everyone is free to give of their time , talents and money as he or she finds it in his heart . However , -so is it also true that the Lord will give us again for our generosity here on earth.

Luk.6 : 38 Give, and it shall be given ! A good , stopped , shook , crowded goal shall be given you in the lap ; For with the same measure you measure, it shall be measured again .

What is tithing?

The first thing we must do is to find out what tithing is for something. Tithe was well known not only in Israel - but also throughout the Middle East - where the tithe was used as revenue for kings and nobles . A tax system in other words.

Biblical definition of the tenth : - A tenth of annual production, either in the form of agricultural products or products from animal husbandry. That is NOT money. ( 3 Mos.27 :30 -32 ) According to the law of Moses was the tithe a compulsory scheme . ( 3.Mos.27 30 , 3.Mos.27 32 , 5.Mos.14.22 -23 , 5.Mos.14.28 ) . Pastors and church leaders who preach tithing shows that they do not own the slightest idea about what the Bible teaches about tithing all the tithes of - 's not ten percent of your income , as they claim . Nor it seems that they understand that the new covenant has replaced the old covenant , since they try to awaken life in the Old Testament ordinances .

This is what the Bible teaches about tithing size : We have not just a tenth - but three ! 1 ) Annual tenth of maintenance of the Levitical presteskap.5.Mos . Kap.14 ) 2 ) Annual tenth of Jerusalem. ( 5.Mos . Kap.14 ) 3) Tenth every three years for the Levites , the widows and fatherless - , - and to the foreign country. ( 5.Mos . Kap.14 )

Together, this would constitute NOT 10 % of your income , such as it is practiced today, but 23.3 % of annual income .

Tithing was an annual event, NOT on each pay day or once a week , as we practice it today . The Bible also teaches that those who lived far from Jerusalem were selling products amounted to tithe , and use the money for a feast before the Lord , under the assumption that the Lord had blessed them abundantly in the year that had passed. ( Read 5 - Mos.Kap.14 )

Tenth word is used eight times in the New Testament. Each time the word is used it to refer to the Jewish practice of tithing , or an Old Testament event. The New Testament is full of exhortations regarding sin and other spiritual problems, but we never see any reprimanded for not paying tithing.

In Acts 5:1 , we read about Ananias and Sapphira who sold a piece of land to give the money to the meeting. This couple died NOT because they do not give money, they did , but that they kept some of the money back in secret. I 've heard collectives agreements that use this story to scare assembly to distort pocket books. The Bible teaches that the tithe should be given to the Levitical priesthood , - NOT pastors or other church leaders . ( Hebr.7 : 5 )

By looking at the writings of the churches in the first centuries , we find nothing that the first churches had a practice of paying tithing. Irenaeus , - renowned leader of the Smyrna church says on the contrary that the practice of tithing ceased with Christ. The reason is simple : -The new covenant came to fulfill the Old Covenant . Do not misunderstand . . . - Jesus said that not one jot of the law and the prophets will perish . The law is , - as Paul says , - good , and schoolmaster unto Christ. The law still applies , for those who are in Christ . But for us who are in Christ 's law fulfilled by the Lord himself , - that we should not have to fulfill it. Why should we pay tithing , according to a law which is fulfilled for us ?

The law of Moses was given to the Jews , NOT the Christian church. Why are we the law of the tithe , but not all the other commandments and precepts of the Mosaic Law ? Moss Act requires , among other things, to not dress in clothes made ​​of different materials such as wool and cotton. Either your clothing be made of only wool or just cotton . Keeping some of us that part of the law of Moses ? No, of course - not ! Why are we then obligated to follow the Mosaic Law when it comes to tithe ? - The reason is very simple: Somebody is after your money ! Ask any pastor you want - why we do not follow the commandments of the law of Moses , and he will answer you the following: " Because the old covenant has been replaced by the new covenant. " If you then ask why we are then required to follow the old covenant of tithing , - have your pastor lie, if he will sound believable , and say that it is imposed on us so in the new covenant. - Is it?

- We can bring to us the scriptures in the New Testament to see if we imposed such a thing.

Matt.23 : 23 Woe unto you, you scribes and Pharisees , you hypocrites , ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and not omitted the weightier matters of the law : Straight and mercy and faithfulness ! This should be done, and without neglecting the others . - Jesus says this to us , or to the scribe ? Luk.18 : 12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. This is from the story of the publican and the scribes , where the scribes boast how fair he is. This is hardly an imposition for us to pay tithing. Heb.7 : 1 . . To whom also Abraham gave a tenth of everything, and being first, by interpretation , king of righteousness , but then also king of Salem , that is , King of peace . - Is this an order to us ?

Heb.7 : 3 And behold how great this man was, to whom Abraham , the patriarch , gave a tenth of the spoils ! - Nor is this an imposition. Heb.7 : 4 And while the children of Levi who receive the priesthood , have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law , that is, of their brethren , though they come out of the loins of Abraham . Same here too - no imposition. Heb.7 : 5 So this is not counted his seed from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises . Again the same thing - Paul does not give us commandment to pay tithing.

Heb.7 : 7 And here are the mortals who receiveth tithes , but there one that has the testimony that He lives. Now it should soon get a commandment to pay tithing here . . . For now we have only one scripture again . . .

Heb.7 : 8 And if I may so say, through Abraham even Levi , who receiveth tithes , been placed in the tenth . Yes, folks, - that was all the New Testament had and say about tithing. - Not a single prescription to us Christians.

Most of the above scriptures is that you see from Hebrews , - where Paul teaches about salvation in Christ. He teaches NOT about tithing ! The scriptures about tithing point just back to events in the Old Testament. The New Testament contains no teaching on tithing at all . I am quite sure that if God has plans for your church , - then he fully able to implement those plans WITHOUT restoring law of Moses ! Money should not be a problem at all for those who are in God's plan. - When arranging possibly God in things so that His plan is implemented. God has in fact habit to finish what He starts .

Phil.1 : 5 And I am confident of this , that he who began a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ . But if the pastor of your church has a lot of plans that are NOT God has given him , I well understand that the economy is a topic that is covered with a lot of hassle and stress. If the leaders of our parishes have plans that have occurred in their own heads , -so should they be responsible for raising the money to carry out their plans.

The world is full enough as it is of people running carousel with other people's money !

Final Comment:

I hope and think you got some answers here . I, for my part fi personal testimony , so it's going back to his closet and be silent for what and where to give . There are many out there who want and need our support. Therefore be silent before God , that's my best advice .

Matt . 6 5 And when ye pray , you shall not be like the hypocrites , for they would love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners , to show unto men: verily I say unto you, They have their reward . 6 But you , when you pray, go into your room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Otherwise I would also say one thing, encountered primarily those involved in mission and business in Norway and Europe. Secondly, those who work there in the 3rd world, this is my general advice.

Nr. 617: What 's good here in time?

Nr. 617:

What 's good here in time?

Picture of me and my wife will certainly recommend Smyrna Oslo, Hallelujah !



Hi Jan Kåre will first thank you for the nice blog . Has been in and read a little and there is much good there. ( Is not 100 % agree with everything then, but that's mostly because part of what you are going to is new to me and I need to spend time studying it yourself) .

Either will give you credit for that finally someone who is careful with God's Word. Is the way real tired of going to church services and listen to sermons is not about God's Word. Have heard some of what they have in Filadelfia Oslo, Hedmarktoppen and other Pentecostal contexts and it is not exactly something and shout hurray !

What I really wanted to ask you is there any Norwegian ministers / preachers to endorse and adhere to the Word of God ? (or English ?)

You write very much about the ones we should keep ourselves away , but very little about someone who has something good and get by.

God's blessings to you and yours ....

Regards Hans Jørgen

Nr. 616: Today's unbiblical preaching and attitudes of the faithful have " blamed " for this heart raw practice to allow remarriage while the first spouse is alive!

Nr. 616:

Today's unbiblical preaching and attitudes of the faithful have " blamed " for this heart raw practice to allow remarriage while the first spouse is alive!

In many ways, it's Emanuel Minos and today's preachers and leaders as the main blame lies with regard to the flood of remarriage as practiced among believers , especially among the Free Church



I was married and my ex-spouse has found himself a new one, what does the word of God? He slammed both me and the new wife knocked up and we have siblings then.
Thanks in advance
I and my wife were touched when we read your SMS

What you and your child have been through you are sadly not alone who has gone through. But what does God's word? And what is right , healthy and biblical here? As I see it , it's primarily two that are " innocent " here .

It is first and foremost son here , or kid . Let me say it as clearly as possible , children are always innocent what older people do and care for the condition. So it's very important fact that most are trying to protect children from things , though it can also be difficult. he asks tells me that he has added things to heart , it is not good to hear. It's like wanting to take him on a good vacation so he can forget about the things adults , not him as a child.

The spurned here is the wife who has been deserted by her husband. I do not know if one can always tell the innocent and the guilty party , when God's word is very clear to believers only two outcomes regarding divorce and possibly a new relationship. That 's new relationship is sin anyway while the first spouse lives . Therefore, we as believers either reconciled or live solitary after a breakup, according to scripture.

1 Cor. 7 10 The married I command , yet not I, but the Lord , that a wife should not separate herself from her husband ; 11 but divorced him when she abide, being unmarried or be reconciled herself with her ​​husband - and that a man shall put away his wife.

Who then is the " culprit " here ? I think there are three " culprit " here .

1 ) The husband marries again contrary to the word of God while the first spouse lives .

Rooms . 7 2 For the married woman is bound by law to her husband so long as he is alive, but if her husband be dead , she is loosed from the law of her husband . 3 Therefore she is called an adulteress if she , while her husband lives , marries another man : but if her husband dies, she is free from that law , so she is not an adulteress if she marries another man.

2 ) The person who marries a divorced are also guilty and sharing sin with her husband who is not allowed to marry. And whoever marries a divorced , comes under the same judgment and are living in sin according to Scripture .

Luke 16 18 Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery , and whoever marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery .

3 ) The current church leaders and preachers also to blame for this as not holding up God's word and share it both indirectly and directly.

James 3 1 My brothers ! not many of you become teachers , seeing ye know that we will also heavier judgment!

Final comment :

Even if your ex-husband has started a new relationship and had children . So he lives really in a cohabiting relationship and then in sin according to Scripture . He can remarry thousand times , but according to the same font , you're bound to each other as long as you live .

Why practice than not this today ?

There are many answers and opinions about. But for me , and as ministers of the Word and preach so I can not give any other advice than what scripture says .

Of course it is sad that he has new children with his partner , but this is really " whore kids ' unfortunately! You know it's strong words , but this is what Scripture says . It is the son he had with you as his "right" children that are born in a valid marriage . The other kids is like saying " whore kids " when he is not allowed according to scripture to start a new relationship .

What should you do and that's been scorned do?

I know of nothing else than to continue to seek the living God. Do good and right , and try as best as practicable , to live just clean although it is of course difficult in such a situation . But that is why God has given us His Spirit so we should be able to follow God's word.

Ezekiel 36 25 And I will sprinkle clean water upon you , and ye shall be clean : from all your filthiness and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. 26 I will give you a new heart and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh . 27 My spirit will I put within you: and I will make in my statutes and keep My judgments and do them.

Your former spouse , his new roommate and current church leaders are heart raw . They do not have a heart of flesh , but a stone heart.

Therefore, as such things are accepted and widely accepted me scripture says the following :

Matt . 24 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love will grow cold most . 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

Scripture says that " iniquity shall abound, the love will grow cold most ."

This takes place among professed believers , then it is at least twice as bad. But Scripture says also: "he who endures to the end shall be saved." This will be everyone's comfort and hopefully , it pays to follow the word of God when the accounts are to be settled for our lives!

Nr. 614: Both Protestants and Catholics leads and deceived regarding the doctrine that God will keep the non-believers alive to torture and punish them for all eternity!

Nr. 614:

Both Protestants and Catholics leads and deceived regarding the doctrine that God will keep the non-believers alive to torture and punish them for all eternity!

Photo by Jan Hanvold sitting in the TV route say on Vision Norway and condemn others to hell without taking into account that he is the first man in your way when living in sin as everyone else, if they confess the name of Jesus . Repentance and faith in the gospel , we can not distinguish. To believe is of no significance without true repentance and remorse over sin in their lives , Hanvold brag even his sin and everything else of works of the flesh . It just shows how far into the night we arrived when Hanvold stand up and say so much that is really obscene to reproduce .

Isaiah 3:9 The shew of their countenance doth witness against them , and their sin they speak openly as the people of Sodom , they hide it not : woe unto their souls , for the causes themselves unhappy !



Hi Jan!

What do you think of the Halva - the doctrine that both Catholics and Protestants agree by and large it all?

John

It is not true to God's word, God's word teaches that there are two exits on life. Whether to live with God the Father and His Beloved Son Jesus Christ and all the saints forever. Or destruction which ultimately is to be destroyed .

This is the believer expect : Joh. AD 11 25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life : he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live, 26 and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die .

We read about the Antichrist that he will be the trust made ​​in the Lake of Fire , Daniel 7 11 As I watched this , the animal was killed for the great words which the horn spake guilt , and its body was destroyed and thrown into the fire to burn .

We read the same story in Revelation 20 10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone , where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever .

Why speaketh the words of God here against each other? Because it is wrong and misleading translated, therefore also the doctrine of an eternal hell wrong and misleading. One scripture can not speak against one another .

We read further in Revelation : 20 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death .

Everything went "up" in the lake of fire and was destroyed , we see that even if the font is mistranslated as " retrieve " the recover in that it is directly translated elsewhere. Everything will thus be burned up and destroyed in the lake of fire - which is the second death !

Includes some articles I have written on this topic in recent years :

Lake of Fire - the second and eternal death !

The wages of sin is death , not eternal torment. It's in the Bible, Romans 6:23 . The wages of sin is death , but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. " The wicked will die, not tormented forever. It's in the Bible , Psalm 37.20 . But the wicked will perish . As the beauty of the fields disappears Lord's enemies , they vanished like smoke. "

At the end of time shall the wicked burned away, and nothing will be left . It's in the Bible, Malachi 4.1 . " Behold, the day comes , it burns as a furnace . All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble , and the day that cometh shall burn them up , saith the Lord of hosts , so neither root nor branch is left . " When Christ spoke of everlasting punishment was talk of punishment with eternal consequences, ie eternal death . It's in the Bible , Matthew 25:46 . " And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life . " Sodom and Gomorrah suffered "eternal fire" but they are not burning today . It's in the Bible, Jude 7 " Another example is Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality as these angels , and perversion . Now they lie there as an example of the punishment of eternal fire . " The fire will be unquenchable , but when there is more to burn , the fire will go out , or rather, could not burn more. When the fire is something that assumes God the Father even when He is also perfectly just. God sees what is righteous, true , and the most appropriate . When there is no opportunity for repentance is the annihilation fairest and most appropriate in his eyes! When It's in the Bible , Matthew 3:12 . " He's fan was in hand and to clean the grain on the threshing floor . The wheat he will gather her in the barn , but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire . The whole world will be cleansed by fire . It's in the Bible, 2 Peter 3.10. " Day of the Lord will come like a thief . Then the heavens will pass away with a roar , the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up . " Who will be destroyed in the lake of fire ? It's in the Bible, Revelation 20,15 . " And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. " This is the second death , and it is irrevocable !

Two outputs on life

The wheat he would gather in the barn , but the chaff he would burn up with unquenchable fire . All believers should be harvested and enter into the eternal fire . While not all believers shall be as chaff that one burned up and they were destroyed . This is the Bible's clear teaching but the Catholic doctrine middle age sitting as the spinal cord of so many, especially the faithful that it is silent and painful to listen to them when they share their beliefs . Scripture is also clear in its teachings, they will never be revived , but will be gone forever . Tragically , therefore we must do everything we can to ensure that any should perish but be saved and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord. Isaiah 66 24 And they shall go forth and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me : for their worm shall not die , their fire shall not be quenched , and they shall be a horror to all flesh . Furthermore, teaching the word of God in both the Old and New Testament that there are two exits at life on several different occasions. Daniel 12 2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake , some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt . 3 And they that be wise shall shine as the firmament of heaven shines , and those who turn many to righteousness shall shine as the stars forever and ever. The redeemed are in Paradise and will see to it even sweeter . They are not believers in hell and fainted , before they stand up in front of the white throne . Then if they do not have their names written in the book of God the Father will not let them take part in the world and they will cease to exist. As if they had never been to, will be the unsaved demise ! Jesus himself quoted that word in Matthew 25 We must understand that he is being put in " custody " pending the judgment . If one does not have the name written in the book of life , the verdict will be fulfilled that is not to participate and be involved in the world !

Taking fellow finally what Malachi says, and that John the Baptist refers to . And King David and all the biblical men and women have the same vision . All the wicked will be burned up and destroyed , it is clear and unambiguous scriptural teachings ! Psalm 21 10 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath , and the fire shall devour them . The fire shall devour them . Just as we encounter such with Sodom and Gomorrah. The fire of God will destroy them, but this is an eternal flame as it is eternal and perfect God . Then it will be impossible to return, then one is unobstructed once and for all !

Includes ultimately what John the Baptist preached

Matthew 3 12 he has his fan is in his hand , and he will cleanse his floor and gather his wheat laden , but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire. The bait is the unbelieving and ungodly mentioned that , and they were burned . Here are some scriptures that say the same thing: Psalms 1:4 Not so the wicked , but they are like chaff which the wind scattered . -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Isaiah 1:31 And the strong shall be as tow , and his work a spark , and they shall both burn together , and none shall quench them . -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Isaiah 27:4 Wrath I not against it . I had thorns and thistles against me in battle , lest I go through them and burn them all together, -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Isaiah 30:24 And the oxen and donkeys that work the soil will eat salted mash , thrown a bucket and winnowing . -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Isaiah 41:16 You shall cast them vane and wind shall carry them away , and storm shall scatter them : and you shall rejoice thee in the Lord: praise thy Holy One of Israel . -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Isaiah 66:24 And they shall go forth and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me : for their worm shall not die , their fire shall not be quenched , and they shall be a horror to all flesh . -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Jeremiah 7:20 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD , Behold , my anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon men and beasts of the field and on the fruit trees , and it will burn and not be quenched. -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Jeremiah 15:7 And I will cast them with a fan in the gates of the land , I will make my people childless , I ruin it , because they return not from their ways . -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Jeremiah 51:2 And I will send to Babylon strangers , and they will throw the grain and empty her land: for they shall fall upon it from all sides in the bitter day . -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Matthew 1:30 p.m. Let both grow together until the harvest , and at harvest time comes , I will say to the reapers , Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn ! -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Matthew 1:41 p.m. Son of man shall send forth his angels , and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend , and them which do iniquity; -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Matthew 1:42 p.m. and will cast them into the furnace of fire : there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth . -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Mark 9:43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off ! it is better that you go into life maimed , than having your two hands and going into hell in the unquenchable fire, -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Mark 9:48 Where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched . -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Luke 3:16 John answered , saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water : but he comes who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire ; -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Luke 3:17 He has his winnowing fork is in his hand , and he will cleanse his floor and gather the wheat into his charge , but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire. It is useless and futile , it will and should be burned up . When only the usable and what has value behind. So it is with our end as people and empty what comes to our lives. It is only that which Christ has worked out in our lives that will forever pass ! What is a bait or chaff ? It is the shell or casing as corn sitting in. It had value to form the grain , but afterwards . So, it has no value as it is inedible and tasteless . It is the world dark and most duck affecting Christ in us. Do not see the parallels ? Dark has value to show us what God is light , to produce it . And that then produces what is " Tips and ideas " and " flavors" Christ in our lives.

Heaven or Hell?

The way I see it and I believe God's word teaches . So life has two exits , but unfortunately sits the Catholic medieval doctrine so nailed in the majority while God's word inadequately translated in significant respects , that makes it heresy and erroneous notion that man will be tormented for eternity . It 's like a beachhead in all Christendom both the Catholic and Protestant part of Christendom, even if it is 100 % incorrect and not in accordance with what the scriptures teach about these things. The word Jesus used that is translated into halvete is " Gehenna ", which was an area outside the city walls of Jerusalem where they burned garbage . Sometimes the fire burned for several days , until there was nothing left to burn. Words often misunderstood today . A fire can not be extinguished until everything is burned up , is interpreted as a fire that will never stop burning . To burn people in an eternity , God must recreate man who burns over and over again, or make it non-flammable . This is not in line with God's word. The word eternal is indeed used in the Bible , but the Hebrew phrase is translated does not necessarily mean an unlimited time . It can also mean a limited time. Everything after that what context it is used in. In the story of the prophet Jonah was eaten by a whale , it says that he was in the whale forever . But he was there only three days and three nights. This last argument is used to maintain the pagan hell theory of the Christian faith that the apostles have used the Greek word ' hades ' on a few occasions . Hades was the Greek word for hell where there was fire and misery. After an old Matthew was recently found there has been speculation on whether or not the Gospels and the New Testament writings were actually written in Hebrew to begin with . What is important is not the word used in Greek, but what Jesus and the disciples thought. And they were Jews, not Greeks. They had a Jewish understanding of death , not a Greek. The Old Testament is clear that hell is final decision is eternal , and that the dead will be burned up . The theory of hell as we know it among Christians today who said a myth of Babylon . A myth that the Greeks and Romans adopted on its way later. Although myths often changed or evolved, Babylonians believed in an " underworld ", which was inhabited by demons. ( Gods , Demons and Symbols of Ancient Mesopotamia , An Illustrated Dictionary by Jeremy Black and Anthony Green, The British Museum Press p.63 ) Demons , they believed , was hired by the deity to punish those who sinned . The Bible , however , claim Satan is in rebellion to God , not one that works for Him. About the Babylonian learn it is written : " The world is always described as complete dark , dusty and unpleasant. All the dead , without exception , the hostel there, thirsty for water and with just dust to eat ... In addition to these souls of the dead ( gidim ), the underworld is also the home of the dead gods , some demons ( which is described as " aralis offspring " and that flows out from the underworld to bring affliction to humanity ... )" ( ibid p.108 ) It summeriske poem " Gilgames , Enkidu and the Underworld ," as part of is also incorporated into the Babylonian " Epic of Gilgames " , describes a conversation " between Gilgames and soul of his dead servant Enkidu , which makes it clear that although life the world is very unattractive , it can be more tolerable if living relatives regularly sacrifice food and drink to the dead , so it's tempting to leave as many descendants as possible. Those who do not have kids have really a hard time after death , but those who do not even got a decent burial has bad : a person who dies in a fire or with bodies lying in the desert have not even an ` gidim `in the underworld. ( Ibid p.181 ) The Babylonian myth must have caused a lot of grief with the families who were poor , or the dying who had no family.

Similarly, also the Babylonian heritage continued and adapted Christianity of the Catholic Church. The doctrine of purgatory has created problems for many poor and family - solving during the Dark Ages . Who would be on their good works and alms to the church could do their time in purgatory less , if they had not believing family members? " Roman Catholic theologians have not reached agreement on the nature of the suffering in purgatory . some teach that torment in purgatory mainly a sense of loss after being separated from God. Others follow Thomas Aquinas to teach that the souls in purgatory suffer an intense and excruciating physical pain from the fire . "( The Gospel According to Rome , James G. McCarthy , Harvest House Publishers, Eugene, Oregon , 1995)

" Another way of living may help the dead with is through acquiring special credit , called indulgences , which deletes temporary punishment. Roman Catholicism teaches that the Church has the power to hand out indulgences from a vast store of merit called the church's treasury. "( Ibid p.94 ) It was admittedly crisis for those who did not get enough attention after his death or for those who did not receive proper burial by the Babylonians and the Catholic Church. Jesus knew about this pagan doctrine that flourished well in the time he was here on earth. His attitude was of a completely different , just because the things that were claimed by the Gentiles were not true . There was no reason to worry about the dead. "Let the dead bury the dead ... " he said . God hidden tomb of Moses for the children of Israel at a time they had just broke by worshiping Baal Peor by . (They worshiped the dead ..) Therefore Moses grave hidden for them that they should not believe (in spite of the fact that Moses had been a great and godly man ) that they could pray to him or make his grave a place of worship . In Babylon there was a competing doctrine which had given its influence on all other than the Jewish doctrine. Their hell consisted of gods or demons who ruled in the world. They died either there or to heaven . It is this doctrine of the Catholic Church has adopted and continues . " The notion of an underworld populated by terrifying demonic creatures , which foreshadowed the medieval hell, seems to be a theological invention of the first millennium before Christ. " ( Gods , Demons and Symbols of Ancient Mesopotamia , An Illustrated Dictionary by Jeremy Black and anthony Green, The British Museum Press, p.28 ) .

The origin

We find out quickly that this doctrine in its original form is not Jewish \ Christian. But it is pagan and a notion of the world. But hell will be a place of torment , and where man is today without Jesus. There they hoped judgment before God delivers them from there to destroy them . Even where God will come as a deliverer . But what is preferable , Jesus . When is secured for time and eternity , and not enough with that, we as believers will have mercy wages, we will also be rewarded for our faithfulness as Christians. This is mercy and grace for all believers.

Grace Salary

Secondly, are we up front Judgment Seat of Christ in heaven, that our work on earth shall be considered. Those who have been lazy and passive , should have less grace wages, but he who has done a good work - for God in his earthly life , should be rewarded for it, in that he gets great grace salary. Common to both these categories of people is that they are saved, but grace salary will vary from person to person. " For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ ( in heaven ) , that every one may receive the things done in his body , according to that he hath done, whether good or evil ." ( 2 Cor . 5 , 10) " But why do you judge your brother ? Or , why do you despise your brother ? We shall all stand before the judgment seat ." ( Rom. 14 , 10) " Therefore judge someone before the time , until the Lord come, who shall lead to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts , and then shall all get their praise of God." ( 1 Cor . 4 , 5) "For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid , which is Jesus Christ. But if anyone on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood , hay, straw , each man 's work will become manifest, for the day shall show it, and every man's work , it will fire ( God evaluation) trial . whether it works like a built stands up , he shall receive a reward , if the work is burned up , he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved, yet so as through fire. " ( 1 Cor . 3 , 11-15) " But the one who plants and he who waters are one, yet each will receive his own reward according to his own work .. " ( 1 Cor . 3, 8 ) Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward "( Heb. 10 : 35) " Take heed to yourselves , lest you lose what you have gained through their work, BUT THAT YOU CAN GET FULL PAY ! Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ (eg. . Liberal and atheistic theology ) , hath not God, who abides in the teaching , he has both the Father and the Son . " ( 2 Jn . 8-9) - and of the Holy Ghost. Halvarholmen kolsrud says the following about this verdict in his book , Jesus , page 57 : "The results in the judgment seat of Christ will be very different . It is in itself not so strange because all it is a big difference between God's people here in this life. not all dedicate themselves fully to Christ. not all seek to do his will in all things. not everyone is as faithful. not all equally eager for the salvation of souls . These are realities we can not ignore . For Christ's court will have come to see his life's work burn , while others see his life's work pass the test . See 1 Cor . 3 , 10-15 . Also above their own Christ will be the righteous judge who will " give every man according as his work shall be ." " Behold, I come quickly , and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be ." (Acts 22 , 12) For Christ's tribunal , any gain his reward for his work . '74en He who plants and he who waters are one , but each will receive his own reward according to his own work . " 1 Cor . 3 , 8 Which day when all things , even the smallest , will arrive for the light and get their fair judgment. About salary , it is written : 'Blessed are you when they blaspheme and persecute you and lie to you allspice evil on for me. glad and rejoice , for your reward is great in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets who were before you . " Matt . 5, 11-12. " He that receiveth a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward , and whoever welcomes a righteous man is righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward . And whoever gives one of these little ones a cup of cold water to drink to is a disciple , verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward . " Matt . 10 , 41-42 . Let us finally in this regard take these words of Jesus : " Lay not up treasures on earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break in and steal , but overall yourselves treasures in heaven , where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt and where thieves do not break in and steal . Matt . 6 , 19-20 . " I will also be allowed to quote from Ludv . Johnsen's book, Jesus' imminent coming, pp. 153 and 155 what he says about the judgment of the court of Jesus in heaven. . " Christ church collection to receive " the prize " and the big upcoming " Parade Day " of the living " God's army " as salary and crowns will be awarded to the faith stewards and soldiers , who have been faithful to the confession of the talents they had received during their earthly journey . , this " triumphal " will be here on earth during Christ's millennial government cleansed the earth then will be from the presence and contamination of sin and Satan , and tHE GOOD FAITH aND SERVANT wILL BOARD oF CITIES aND PROVINCES AND tHAT TRACK STARS forever and ever . shall . you , I'll be one of them? And it would be no surprise if these should also have similar positions of trust in the new earth , at the end of time . The big day when we are all God's children, without exception shall give account to him for the trusted talents. Ennskjønt our salvation is secured , mediated by the cross , we are still servants , builders, soldiers and branches on the vine , responsible for how we use our time , money , talents and opportunities to witness , pray, serve, sacrifice or be sacrificed in our Lord's service. How we behave here ' will be clearly portrayed in the light of eternity . We can not live here , to please ourselves, and then think that we should enjoy the highest possible blessing and happiness beyond . There are different jobs , joys and delights of heaven. God's Word shows us this in many places. Let us look closely , while we have time, we gather us treasures in heaven, not rust may devour . "

In front of this judgment throne in heaven , there will be awarded 4 wreaths and a crown . These wreaths symbolize different aspects of the Christian life , and the like are dealt one or more of these collars have received full pay in the disciplines that these wreaths represent. In my opinion, it is fully acceptable for someone to gain greater grace wages than others. It has been a lazy and passive Christian, can not expect to get the same salary as the grace that has made a great and active participation in the kingdom of God during his earthly life . We will look at the 4 wreaths and crown , which is dealt, so we know where we can put into force , to win the wreaths .

1 ) crown of righteousness is won by those who have fought the good fight and finished the race in faith. " I have fought the good fight , finished the race and kept the faith . So is the righteousness garland presented to me , which the Lord the righteous judge , shall give me at that day , but not me alone, but all who have loved his appearing ( which is Jesus) . " ( 2 Tim . 4 , 7-8) The wreath will be all believers part of what is common to all believers , that they loved Jesus.

2 ) unfading crown of glory will be given to the church pastors and elders , whose faithfulness has guarded and protected the Christian church. " The elders among you I exhort that medeldste and witness of the sufferings of Christ , as the one and share in the glory that shall be revealed : Feed the flock of God which is among you , taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind , nor that they will rule over their congregations , but so that You are patterns to the flock , and when the chief Shepherd (Jesus ) shall appear, ye shall receive unfading crown of glory . " (1 Pet . 5, 1-4)

3) joy -OR HONOR wreaths will be distributed to those who have won other people for Jesus. It is not a question of how many souls you have won, but that has participated in this work on the basis of their qualifications and occasions. " Therefore, my brethren whom I love and longed for, my joy and crown , stand firm thus in the Lord , my beloved ." ( Phil. 4, 1 ) "For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing ? Are not even you before our Lord Jesus at his coming ." ( 1 Thess . 2, 19 ) What does this wreath , we must notice that it is the people that we have won for Jesus that make up the wreath . Certainly, the more we have won the larger and finer , this wreath . It is therefore not surprising that it is following in Dan . 12 , 3: " But the wise shall shine as the firmament of heaven shines , And those who turn many to righteousness shall shine as the stars forever and ever ."

4) the incorruptible KRANS be won by anyone who has finished the race and kept the faith . " Know ye not that they which run in a race run all , but one receiveth the prize ? Run it so that you can win it. Every man that the betting game , is temperate in all things to receive a perishable wreath but we an incorruptible . " ( 1 Cor . 9 , 24-25)

5 ) the crown of life will be awarded to those who have resisted temptation and have been faithful unto death . This applies particularly those who have suffered martyrdom for Jesus' sake . " Blessed is the man who endures temptation , for when he is tried , he shall receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him ." (James 1 : 12) " Do not fear what you are about to suffer . Behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye shall be tried , and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death , and I will give you the crown of life ." (John Ap . 2, 10 ) What comes to collars , they will be different , but what is the crown of life , and all believers have it . It can not be anything wrong , already here and now, to think about the wreaths one has the opportunity to take part in. Basically , it is appropriate that a Christian reaches for all the wreaths and tries to get hold of them . I will get the opportunity cite two statements by Erich Sauer , where he speaks of the salary that is being passed in front of Jesus' court . " As Rapture is refreshment for the heart , so is his court stimulating for conscience ... Salvation is related to faith , pay with fidelity . WHICH CHILDREN RECEIVING WE HIS LIFE , HIS SERVANTS TO PAY " . When it says in the Bible that one should lay up treasures in heaven , not on earth , then it is grace salary , wreaths and crown in question . " Lay not up treasures on earth , where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break in and steal , but overall yourselves treasures in heaven , where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also . " (Mt 6 , 19-21 ) Now does not consist solely of grace pay it as obtains the good deeds that prove to be ineffective in front of Jesus judgment throne , but it consists of all spiritual riches as being made complicit in , when one comes to heaven . This is all of grace, and it is communion with Jesus that gives us this. In the f regard, I quote the Norwegian Illustrated Bible Encyclopedia says about salary , Volume 2 , page 2749 : " What is the salary : Be with Christ , Jn . 12 , 26, 14, 3 , Fil. 1, 23 , 1 Tess . 4 , 17 Sense God, Psalm 17, 15 , Matt . 5 , 8, Ap . 22 , 4th See the glory of Christ , Jn . 17 , 24 Be glorified with Christ , Rom. 8 , 17-18, Kol . 3 , 4, Fil. 3 , 21 Sitting in judgment with Christ , Luke . 22, 30 , sml . 1 Cor . 6 , 2nd Ruling with Christ 2 Tim . 2, 12 , Ap . 5 , 10, 20 , 4.22 , 5th Get a crown of righteousness , 2 Tim . 4, 8 , unfading crown of glory , 1 Pet. 5, 4, an imperishable wreath , 1 Cor . 9 , 25, crown of life, Ap . 2, 10 , eternal life, Luke . 18 , 30, the prize File . 3, 14 , inheritance with Christ , Rom. 8, 17 , inheritance of all things , Ap . 21 , 7, inheritance with all the saints , Acts 20 , 32, 26 , 18, Kol . 1, 12 , an eternal inheritance, Heb . 9, 15 , an imperishable , undefiled and unfading inheritance, 1 Pet. 1, 4 , kingdom of God , Matt . 25 , 34, Luke . 22 , 29, an unshakable kingdom , Heb . 12 , 28, a city with foundations, Heb . 11, 10 , one enduring substance , Heb . 10 , 34, a house eternal in the heavens , 2 Cor . 5, 1, a treasure in heaven , Matt . 19, 21 , Luke . 12 , 33, joy of the Lord , Matt . 25 , 21, cf . Heb . 12, 2 , fullness of joy , Psalm 16 , 11, a rest , Heb . 4, 9 , Ap . 14 , 13, eternal light , Isaiah 60 , 19, a shine like stars, Dan . 12, 3 , the fullness of eternal glory , 2 Cor . 4 , 17 " Whoever believes in Jesus has therefore the most brilliant future ahead of him. Yes, we can only imagine and discern the glory of the Lord has arranged prepared for those who believe . " For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us ." ( Rom. 8, 18 ) but as it is written : What eye not so and ear not heard , and what is not entered into the heart of man, what God has prepared for them that love him . " ( 1 Cor . 2, 9 ) What is the purpose of someone to gain greater grace wages than others? Firstly , I think that this is a correct principle that he who has much work in the kingdom of God and made a great effort in this area , should be rewarded for it. Second, this will spur the faithful in the work of spreading God's kingdom matter, so they are not only satisfied with the salvation that Jesus brought to pass on Calvary , but also want to get a big salary grace as possible. In a typical work is good salary incentive for the efforts that are being made . In efforts to spread the kingdom of God on earth is the idea that one may receive mercy wages for the work even more incentive not only for salary sake , but because we love Jesus , who has given us everything . Thirdly, it will come to see that many of those who have held high office and positions of responsibility in God's kingdom work on earth , and was considered to mean something and make a good and valuable work will lose their positions . . We know that in the future God's kingdom will in many cases the roles are changed completely, so that many of those who were not heeded for their work and their efforts to gain a prominent place in it, for Jesus to be in his evaluation of the believers before the moments that we have not found out . " Therefore judge someone before the time , until the Lord come, who both will bring up to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts , and then shall all get their praise of God." (Romans 4 , 5) " Jesus answered and said , Verily I say unto you, There is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and the gospel's , but he shall receive an hundredfold , now in this currently houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands under persecution , and in the age to come eternal life. BUT MANY AS tHE FIRST SHALL BE LAST aND tHE LAST FIRST . (Mark 10 , 29-31 ) " And it shall come people from east and west and from north and south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God ( 1000 year kingdom ) . And , behold, there are those who are between the past and will be first , and there are those between the first and will be last . " (Luke 13 , 29-30)

All believers can accept nådelønnens principles, but many are worried that the greater and lesser grace wages will lead to one in heaven is building a new hierarchy (church stun ) with the greatest grace salary on top of the ladder , and those who have received less should be subordinate to the former. Many Christians are afraid that we are in heaven shall have a dominance and subordination with respect to the duties and offices , such as we have in many churches today with Pope and Bishop at the top of the rank pyramid , with Dean and "priest " a bit longer down and the ordinary believers at the very bottom. I do not think anyone needs to be afraid of this. The major or minor grace salary will not seem so . In heaven , we honor each other and seek each other's best. When we come to heaven , such thoughts fall away , because we have entered a new dimension - the dimension of the Kingdom of God , where all things are become new . Life has two outputs , but the understanding of this is very disturbed and sometimes destroyed by wrong and unscriptural doctrine which the Catholic Church has entered. It is pointless and without any great thought and purpose that God will torment , harass and want some pain and will keep someone in your life for only one purpose. That they will be tormented and troubled . The idea is so absurd that only it should and should get many people to wake up to what God's word teaches and says here ! The notion of an eternally burning hell where lost human souls writhing in pain and torture through all eternity has created both anguish and problems for many Christians. It should not be ignored that some passages - or rather translations - apparently supports this view. It is difficult to reconcile such an interpretation with biblical account of a just and merciful God who judges people by their deeds. Let us examine the problematic verses . "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me , ye cursed , into everlasting fire , prepared for the devil and his angels. . . . And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into eternal life " (Mt 25,41.46 ) . The Greek text ( Textus Receptus ) says : " Tote erei kai tois items eyonymon poryesthe ap emu hoi kateramenoi eis two pyr two aionion two hetoimasmenon two diabolo kai tois angelos . . . . Apeleysontai hutoi Kai eis kolasin aionion hoi the dikaioi eis dsoen aionion "(" Then he will say also unto them on the left hand : Depart from me , the cursed , to the eternal fire , prepared for the devil and his angels .... And they will go away to these eternal punishment , but the righteous into life eternal "). " The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever . They have no rest day nor night , who worship the beast and his image , and whosoever receiveth marked with his name "(Revelation 14,11 ) . Greek , " kai ho kapnos tu basanismu avton anabainei eis Aion aionon kai uk ekjsusin anapavsin Hemera kai nyktos she proskynuntes two therion kai ten Eikon avtu " (" And the smoke of their torment rises for ever called eternities , and they have no rest day or night who worship the beast and his image "). "But you who are troubled , he shall rest with us . This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels. He comes in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and on them that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus . The punishment they will suffer the eternal damnation away from the Lord and from the glory of his power "(2 Thessalonians 1.7 to 9 ) . Greek , " kai tois hymin thlibomenois anesin meth hemon , a tea apokalypsei tu kyriu Iesu ap uranu met Angelon dynameos avtu , one pyridine Flogo didontos ekdikesin tois me eidosin Theon , kai tois me hypakuusin two evangelio tu kyriu hemon Iesu Kristu . oitenes dike tisusin olethron aionion apo prosopu tu kyriu kai apo tes tes DOKSET iskjyos avtu "(" And to you who are aspiring betrengt , rest with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power in flaming fire , giving punishment to them not sensing God and to those who do not obey the gospel our Lord Jesus Christ , who shall suffer punishment , destruction ( destruction ) forever , away from the face of Jehovah , and from the glory of his power "). Let's go to these verses in detail .

"Eternal "

The first thing we should note is that both Matthew 25 , Revelation . 14 and 2 Thessalonians 1 uses the Greek word " aion " (in different grammatical inflections ) of " forever." This means "long ", " eternal ", " something that never ends ," but also " time-span ", " life ", " generation ". The term " aion " is therefore used both for a limited time and for an unlimited period , " infinity ". The word is used in other words, unconditional on " forever" in the sense of something that never ends . In Revelation . 14,11 used the phrase Aion aionon ( forever and forever ) , and in Revelation . 20,10 used Aion ton aionon ( the eternities forever ) for the right to emphasize that the punishment is eternal. It can not be undone in the eternity of eternities .

"Pine"

It is not really the word "eternal " that creates problems. It is the word " torment" that causes anguish . Let us examine this expression . Matt . 25 , 41.46 - " Eternal fire. . . eternal torment . " In the original Greek text reads as follows: " the eternal fire " (v. 41 ) and "they will go away to these eternal punishment " (v. 46). In the Norwegian Bible says "eternal torment" in v. 46, but in the Greek text reads " kolasis ", which means " center ", " torture ". The word can thus mean " torture " but can also mean " punishment ." Which option best matches the image of a just and merciful God? God tortures people? Revelation . 14.11 : " The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever ." Greek : " the smoke of their torment their ". It uses the Greek word " basanismu " for " torment" . It means " torture ", " torment ", " nuisance ", and according to Greek dictionary it says in Revelation . 14,11 in the sense of " eternal damnation ." 2 Thess. 1.7 to 9 , " eternal damnation ." Greek : " Those who shall suffer punishment , an underpass forever." The word " punishment " is " dike ", which means " right ," " justice ," " judgment ," " the exercise of a judicial decision ." The word " destruction " is " olethron ," which means " destruction ", " destruction ", " doom ". 2 Thess. 1.7-9 is the key to these problematic verses in the Bible: " The punishment they will suffer the eternal damnation . " Paul says here that the wicked will suffer eternal destruction , destruction , destruction - that the punishment they suffer an eternal damnation , eternal death and destruction , not eternal torture. The sound reasonable , and practice non-violence in God's character. It is in this light that we must understand the other verses. It is easy to interpret it difficult . In Matthew 25:46 , it says "eternal torment" , also means " eternal punishment ". This meaning is also consistent with Paul. In Revelation . 14.11 says. " The smoke of their torment ." You used the word to mean " eternal damnation ", which is also consistent with Paul.

« Consumed »

Let 's look at Revelation 20.9 of the wicked : "And they went up over the broad earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city . But fire came down from heaven and devoured them . " Word" consumed "is the Greek " katephagen , "which means" swallow "," consume ". The wicked are simply consumed, destroyed in a fire that destroy both soul and body , as Jesus says . And Revelation 20.10 : " And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone , where the beast and the false prophet are . And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever . " Greek ," kai ho ho diabolos planon avtus eblethe eis ten limn tu Puros kai theiu hopu two therion kai kai ho psevdoprofetes basanisthesontai Hemera kai eis nykotos status Aion ton aionon "(" And the devil the seducing them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and lying prophet . and they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever the eternities "). It says that the devil will be tormented day and night forever and ever . Let us also look at Ezekiel 28,14.18.19 the devil / Satan / Lucifer , and what happens to him in the end : " Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth , and I put on the holy mountain . Thou hast walked among the stones of fire . . . . Upon thy iniquities , by your unjust trade , you profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore will I bring forth a fire from you, and it shall devour you. I bring thee to ashes upon the earth for all them that behold you. . . All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee . A terror , and you're gone - forever. " It says the Ezekiel plainly that Satan will be consumed and turned into ashes. He is destroyed and disappears , " disappear" forever. The Hebrew word used here for " eat " is " Akal " which means " burning up ", " consume ". As we saw in Matthew 25:41 , they lost people go away " . . . the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. " Since the devil is consumed and turned into ashes , it is reasonable that the lost who go to the same fire, suffering the same fate. They are also consumed and becomes ashes. There is a total destruction , and as we shall see , is also the soul destroyed in this fire . It is neither root nor branch left, says the prophet Malachi : "For behold , the day cometh ! It burns like a furnace . When all the proud and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up , saith the Lord of hosts , that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. . . . And you shall tread down the wicked . They shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I act, says the Lord of hosts " (Malachi 4,1.3 ) . The wicked will burn up , says Malachi , and there is no root or branch back , ie nothing. They turn into ashes, he says . They will be destroyed. " Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven. He overthrew those cities and all the plain , all the inhabitants of the cities , and all that grew on the ground . . . . Early morning Abraham went to the place where he had stood before the LORD , and he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah and all the land , and, behold, the smoke rising from the land , like smoke from a furnace. How it happened , when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the destruction , when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt in "( Gen. 1 19,24.25,27-29 ) . " . . . Even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around, like in the same way as these fornication, and going after strange flesh , and now is an example of our eyes and suffer the punishment of eternal fire " (Jude 7). Greek : " . . . prokeintai deigma , pyros aioniu dike hypekjusai "(" ... is put forth as an example , ilds suffering eternal punishment "). Again , the word " dyke " for " punishment " and means that before mentioned , " right ," " justice ," " judgment ," " the exercise of a judicial decision. " Ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were completely destroyed by fire, an " eternal fire ," says Jude . Again, the Greek word " aionu " ( the root word " aion ") used. What do as apostle with this expression ? Sodom flames are long extinct , and the areas in which these cities were , now lies on the shores of the Dead Sea , or under water. It can not be about "eternal fire" in the sense that it burns forever. But as we have seen, also the word " aion " means a " limited time ." Because the flame is extinguished long ago , is it logical enough to interpret the word in this sense ? The "eternal fire" burn as long as there is nothing to burn . When everything is turned into ash, extinguish the fire .

soul

Jesus "the second death ": " Fear not them which kill the body but can not kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell "( Matt. 10.28 ) . Here Jesus says that both soul and body be destroyed in hell. Jesus does not say that they should suffer for all eternity , but will be destroyed . How much is the back of a human being when both soul and body is destroyed? The Greek word for " destroy " is the " apolesai ," which means " destroy " " destroy ," " perish. " Soul is therefore not immortal, but can perish and be destroyed.

Is God a mega - torturer ?

None of us would choose to serve a God who allows lost people agonize in pain forever for the sins they have committed in a short life here on earth. A man who has lived for 70 years here on earth , in other words tormented anguish and pain in billions of billions and billions of years - forever in eternal hellfire ? How has God's grace , mercy , compassion , justice and love all the way? Is this a joy for the families that have been saved? Will those who believe in eternal torment answer what kind of God we are dealing with ? Imagine if you were on the new earth , while your beloved children , or friends, family, etc. were gone lost. Would it be a joy for you to know that God tortured , tormented and tortured loved ones in hell for all eternity ? Of course not ! Maybe you are having heard the desperate screams their thousands of years , implored God to let them escape . And would God respond when he obviously would not let them escape , but they were lying there in pain through all eternity ? What is this picture of the biblical God so loved the world that he gave his own Son nailed to a cross like a criminal for you and me to be saved? There are many people who have renounced God and would not have anything to do with him because of this terrible heresy . Their logic and common sense told them the image of God, the eternal torment popular preachers served , did not fit properly, so they bade farewell to such a God . But our God is not so. He is a mega - torturer that plagues and torments people through eternity of eternities . Did you find this sound reasonable ? Fortunately this is not the God of the Bible portrays . He is full of compassion for his creatures . How could he give his only begotten Son to save people from sin and damnation , but the torment and torture lost people through all eternity ? God is just. It is then explicitly in the Bible that all may be judged and punished according to their deeds . Is it a just God that plagues and torments people for eternity for what they 've done in a short life ? Do you think this is an accurate picture of the compassionate Jesus who gave his life for you and me ? Of course not .

God's love

Is the love of God more than human love? Or is human love greater than the love of God ? The answer is simple enough : God's love is the greatest of all, it surpasses any sense and any description. Just read John 3:16 . Now let me ask a question. If a man had a child who died without having accepted Jesus , the parents would have plagued and tormented this dear child forever ? The desperate screams , pain , suffering through all eternity, without delay - would you give your children such a fate ? And here you will answer Oh no , no, how can you believe such a thing ? But then the love of parents for their children greater than God's love for mankind ! The parents would not do that to their loved ones, but God , whose love for his creatures surpasses all understanding , will thus make it ? Is there something amiss here ? The Bible portrays not our Heavenly Father as a supertorturist , but rather as a merciful and just God , full of mercy and compassion for his creatures . Will the righteous judge a child who has stolen 50 cents to death or to life imprisonment ? Another thing: If the wicked are in hell fire and tormented for eternity , they have the one conscious existence ! They feel pain and despair . Then they have the eternal life! A miserable life is enough , but yet forever ! Is this what the Bible teaches ?

The wages of sin

The horrible doctrine of eternal punishment can be refuted by a single Bible verse : "But the wages of sin is death " (Romans 6:23 ) . "Take gar opsonia tes Hamartia thanatos " (" For the wages of sin (s ) death "). Could you see what the wages of sin is for the wicked? death - eternal death , not eternal " torment " and " eternal life" in despair . But some will argue : It is true that the wages of sin is death , but it's a resurrection from the dead on the Day of Judgment , and then all get their reward - either eternal life or eternal torment. But this has been answered in the above analysis makes it clear that the wicked reward is eternal destruction of both body and soul , that eternal death . This is the ultimate consequence of sin .

Summary

Let me summarize it this way:

1 There are few places in the Bible that the wicked are " tormented " forever. 2 But Paul in 2 Thessalonians . 1.7 to 9 gives the right picture the other verses should be interpreted according to. The wicked suffer eternal damnation , he said. The word " torment" can also mean " punishment" THE CASE Greek original text. The punishment is eternal damnation , he said. This is very important to understand.

3 The punishment is eternal , says Paul. But both body and soul is destroyed , ruined , perish , says Jesus. Revelation . 20 says that Satan will be cast into the lake of fire and will be " tormented day and night forever and ever ." But Ezekiel says that Satan will be destroyed and turned into ashes.

4 Thus, it appears that the there are contradictions in the Bible. but it is not. We should however interpret the difficult passages from the simple , and Paul makes it all clear. It is punishment , ie hell is eternal , not the physical suffering. Hell is eternal in the sense that both body and soul to the wicked who perish , are destroyed and there are no more forever. The doctrine of eternal torment is completely out of harmony with the Bible image of God, then is not what the Scripture says , when you go verses in detail , and it must be done in such difficult things. It is strange that parts of Christendom are doing such a terrible heresy and misrepresented God in this way ! 5 The wages of sin of the wicked is death and not eternal life in torment and pain of hell fire . "For the Lord is compassionate and merciful " (James 5,11 ) . "The Lord is merciful and gracious , longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy " ( Ps. 103.8 ) . "For I have no pleasure in someone to die , saith the Lord God . So repent ye , and ye shall live "( Ezekiel 18.32 . ) The Christian God is not an eternal torturer , but a just and merciful God.

God is love, and that love will be all in all to end! Scripture teaches that God may be all in all and every tear he shall wipe away . Then all negative , dark, and all that he stands opposite in all respects be removed and burned up and away ! 24 Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all powers , authorities and powers. 25 For he must reign until God has put all enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death . 27 For everything he put under his feet. That 's all, it is clear that God is excluded. It is God who put all things under him . 28 And when all things are subject unto him shall the Son also himself be subject to God who put all things under him , that God may be all in all.

In this eschatological perikopen that combines an interpretation of Psalm Psalm 110.1 and 8.6, we see that the climax of the Son 's rule is that he surrenders his kingdom to God, even submits to God. One aspect NT05 translation does not capture is that the Son must actually submit to God that God may be all in all , as the Greek text shows us: hina ē ho theos ta panta en pasin . That the Son submit to the Father is essential that " God may be all in all ."

Bible Society NT05 and 78/85-oversettelse lose this point when they fail to translate this as a purpose statement ( preceded by hensiktskonjugasjonen hina ) . 1930 translation renders however, this right of " lest " . Thus we see that the "end " does not exist here in Jesus' second coming , nor in a common domination between the Father and the Son in Revelation 22 , no, end consists alone of the Father's sovereignty . God may be all in all . Then there will not be room , room and opportunity for something negative and that is his will . To do evil , be tortured or to belong to Satan 's evil in the sight of God , but to serve Him , to love Him and one another and do good, it is good in the sight of God . The whole universe will eventually be filled with His goodness and himself. It is God's ultimate plan, will and purpose ! " Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men , and he will dwell with them . " Revelation . 21 , 3rd What will happen to Satan , the Antichrist , the False Prophet , the fallen angels , demons , all the wicked and unbelieving ? They will be destroyed and annihilated . Annihilate : verb trans . obliterate [' ʉ ː tʃletə ] destroy, remove completely . (Article finish) .

An eternal hell ?

Jesus is not afraid of the word reward. Time and again he let the man get the " reward " for doing good . He speaks through the daily wage in the parable of the laborers in the vineyard in Matthew 20.1 to 16 . But what he means by this word shows just this parable quite clear. Salary - in this life - is the strength and growth that comes with it to make it good . The strength and growth is completely independent of whether a start work early or late. The reward is in the work itself. When one lives according to God's Law , know one that lives by its own true Law . Only then feel that a living wage and to do the will of God is precisely the " life " .

The statement that God rewards each according to his work contains primarily that the wages in the same way as punishment is in the act itself , the stimulus, or the degradation of life that act may cause. In the parable of the sower consists salary of the crop . Earth can carry more or less , but thrive and live by bearing crop. One feels blessed for doing what is good . But the earth does not carry crop being burned by the sun, or choked by brambles . The thrive and desolate. When the Son of Man in the judgment in Matthew 25.40 says, " whatever you did for one of my brethren, ye have done it unto me. " Then he said : It did for the truly human in yourself . For the Son of man lives in us all , and he is etlet to win in every awakening human soul , winning over more and more expensive the mind and savage in us - beat the " devil " [33 ] .

Reward and sense of growth and progress comes with all the best one can get done whether it is small or big. The only provides one of the smallest so much as a sip of water with good hearted - one vannslurk was not always so little in the dry Palestine - he will not miss his salary. Any good idea as have follow up itself has its rewards . Every owner and every step along the good road brings with it joy. So it is "pay" for the asking in the right way , or fast properly , he feels that he is growing and that the good in him making progress . About reward the good consequences of right behavior, then punishment the negative result of the crime . The story of the sower wither the futility that seed on stony ground or lost otherwise. Their entire existence is futile. But the consequences of our actions reach beyond this life . Here, as elsewhere followed Jesus writings of his time. From the beginning , Israel had not known about other than death and Sheol ( Scheol ) . This was the same as in the second sales people in the early time , one skyggedal without life . It is often called Hades ( " Nåheimen " according Garborg - overs . 's Note) ( 1 Mos.37.35 , 44.29 , 31; 4.Mos . 16.30 ) . Scheol is in the Old Testament thought of as a dark home , a shadow land ( Job. 10:21 ) . It is called " silence " in Salm . 115.17 , " abyss ", " dark" , " land of forgetfulness " in Salm . 88.12 to 13 . There are " neither action , knowledge or wisdom in Nåheimen " ( Ecclesiastes 9:10 ) Both good and evil going there when they die , according to Job 30.23 . And in death there is no remembrance of God. "Who will praise you in hell ? " Asks Salm . 6.6 [34 ] ) . But early thinkers of Israel had wondered why there was always the good and the bad good bad (see especially Jacob ) . Several explanations have been launched , such as the one we find traces of in John 9 2-3 : The suffering here must have sinned before they were born , or that they suffer for sins of their parents have done. But the idea of leveling after death got . Even in Job wake hope of a right for the great beyond , and in the Book of Wisdom from 3.1 to 10 , this idea has taken root . It is now life in Hell , with joy of the good and the sorrow of the wicked. In Jesus' day had Scheol - or Hades as it is called in Greek of the New Testament - split in two . On one side was the Helheim with " pine" for the unjust , that they were kept in custody under punishment until the Day of Judgment . On the other hand, ended the righteous in paradise , or " Abraham's bosom " according to Luke 16.22-23 and 2 Peter 2.9 [ 35] . These two places were strictly separated , but the good and the evil could still talk to each other ( Luk.16.23 -26 ) . The fire mentioned in the story of the rich and Lazarus are both recently been borrowed from Gehenna [36 ] . Sometimes Jesus mentions a prison sinner will not come out of until he has paid the last mite ( Matt. 5:26 ; 18.34 ; Lk . 12:59 ) . This must be penalty spot in Helheim . From Gehenna nobody came out. This was the second , the absolute and ultimate death ( Åpb. 20.14) . Penalties will be measured by sin , the greater the sin , the harder refs . And voluntary sin was judged stricter than involuntary sin. A server that does not do what his master will be chastised with blows . Many stroke if he knew what the Lord wanted, fewer strokes if he did not know. On the whole it becomes charged any according to what is given to him (Luke 12, 47-48 . The first question is : Have you loved your neighbor? Whoever just is angry with his brother shall be guilty of the criminal , just as a killer is guilty of criminal law of Moses , unless he had reason to anger ( Matt. 5.21 to 22 m HNV . ) . Also for our words we must be accountable , for through these we reveal our deepest truth, any when we least think about it . therefore , "By thy words thou shalt be as justified, and by your words you will be judged " ( Matthew 12:37 [ 37 ] ) .

When the Kingdom of the Messiah comes , the righteous will stand up ( Luk.14.14 , 20.35 to 36 ; 1 Cor . 15.22-28 , Rev . 20.4 to 5 ) . In Luke 20.35 is just a resurrection mentioned. Then comes the first sentence ( Mat.24.30 -31 , Rev . 20.4 ) . They emerged just yesterday when the Messiah in the Kingdom with the elect as it is alive ( Matt. 24.31 , 37-43 ; 1 Thess . 4:15 ) . Man's world is in this age entirely in God according millennium in Revelation 20.2 to 3 ( cf. Rev . 21.1 to 4 ) . Then comes the final judgment ( Matt. 25.31-46 , , Rev . 20.12 ) , and when the judgment is held and all evil is cleansed from the earth , so everything has been renewed ( Åpb. 21, 4-5) , then the righteous achieved complete bliss . God's kingdom and the kingdom of heaven is as perfect. It is only in this last sentence that there is talk of Gehenna , the great 's ass fire - see Matthew 25.41 and Revelation 19.20 and 20.10 , 14 and 15 Gehenna tank is unknown in the Old Testament and did not come up until after Babylon - time. Word Ge (h ) is still underground enough and comes from the Hebrew Gehinnom , Hinnomsdalen . This was the name of a valley outside Jerusalem where Judah in the days of old sacrificed to Molech ( Jer. 7:31 ; 2 Ki . 23.10 ) . This was a grim place with volcanic terrain with a whiff of sulfur in the air above the valley. The belief was that Gehinnom once again be transformed into a lake of fire that would burn up the worst of the enemies of Israel ( Isaiah 66.16-17 , 24; Dan . 7.10 to 27 ) . In recent times was waste and oodles of town thrown in with the bodies of dead animals and sometimes corpses of criminals. This was burned in Hinnomsdalen . The trash fire burned day and night when there was always enough waste from a big city like Jerusalem. And the fire burning with brimstone because it had to be so strong that it would consume all this waste fast enough. With all this horror and with fire and dreams of fire from ancient times , both above and below ground , the Gehenna or Hinnomsdalen the right workpieces to form a "Hell " . And this was the picture on the last punishment of God and the enemies of Israel . The fire is the image of utdøding or complete annihilation. To fire in Hinnomsdalen put an end to the waste from Jerusalem , so should the spiritual Gehennailden end to the earth waste , this waste with all the help of God prevails and all his patience through the years had not allowed himself to salvation. The fire stays as long as it is nourished . Gehennailden is sometimes called " unquenchable " likewise the fire in Hinnomsdalen [38 ] . But that being thrown into the fire , burning up ( Matt. 3:12 ; 13.30, 40; Luke . 3:17 ) . And the God of Israel is fair to the last. A more lenient Gehenna - center came up at the same time ildstraffen . Not everything that was thrown in Hinnomsgapet came into the fire. Some fell on scree slopes outside and lay there. How should only God and Israel's major enemies getting burned in the spiritual Gehenna . Other sinners who had hardened so that they could come into God's kingdom , would otherwise be " destroyed " ( Matt. 10:28 ) , " kicked off " or " outer darkness " ( Matt. 8:12 ; 24.51 ; Luke . 13.28 ) . Otherwise there was weeping and gnashing of teeth also there ( Matt. 22.13 m HNV . ) . The metaphor of Gehenna is utilized fully in the New Testament. In Revelation where else " outer darkness " has lapsed , the first three major evil forces of the beast , the false prophet and the devil cast into the lake of fire ( 19.20 , 20.10 , 14) . All that is not written in the Book of Life "gets the same fate ." Those who follow the beast and the prophet is killed " with his sword that sat on the horse " ( 19.21 ) . And those who are with the devil in the last war against the saints being burned by " fire from heaven " 20.9 . But death and hell will be " cast into the lake of fire " ( 20.14) , and " this is the second death" [39 ] .

But in a few places hold something new to work his way : The dream of a fire that is not for cleansing , but "to torment " . The burning there will not " burn up " but forever live in the middle of the fire . It is well persecutions that have given this sick dream life : When God made pursuers exercise such atrocities against his children , so he must have thought out a terrible punishment in return for them . This dream stems from a poem stanza of the first times ( cf. Rev . 19.3 where the smoke from the destroyed Rome rising " forever "). But the vapor of blood and smoke of a fire , this idea has grown and gained vitality . Words like " æonisk fire" is already entered in the New Testament , and by Rev . 14.11 and 20.10 to the Devil and his servants simply be tormented " for ever " . Poem stanza from the original text reads: eis Aion aionon and possible 'd better translate into Norwegian by " forever and ever " ( Garborgs translation = Ævords Ævur . - Overs . 's Note) The Greek aion ( old aivon = lazy. Aevum ) is our " forever " - ( Garborgs AEVE - overs . 's Note) - and means life , age and also eternity or time [ 40 ] . In the New Testament the word is often used of age. By aion made ​​aionios : eternal , lasting forever . The word is used for a long time without fixed boundaries. " From æoniske times" in Romans 16.25 and more places means: from the first time , from the beginning, or from when the world was made [ 41 ] . " In all ages " would thus mean : In all times, in all ages . But as we have seen, is not Gehenna - sentence before the ages are completed , or as it says in Revelation 10.6 : When no longer be any time . So, when they learned with their word games for endless timelessness , or the " endless moment " etc. , which of course no one understands , nor the self . What is certain is that Jesus never speaks of endless punishment. Even the greatest sins will come out from the penalty spot when he has "paid the last mite ." The æoniske fire in Matthew 25.41 must be Gehennailden . But "eternal torment " know Jesus not to . Kolasis word he uses in the same chapter v. 46, and as a church bible translator of " torture " means , according to dictionaries " pruning " , ( to limb garden trees ) and subsequent reprimand , discipline or age . But "eternal discipline " becomes meaningless when the " no time anymore " and the earthly life thus reaches its final goal . It may not be the disciple Matthew who put this word in Jesus' mouth . It is the awakening Church slowly started playing with " the eternal fire " [42 ] .

In Jesus of the scribes Gehenna is the major cleaning up after time and life in it. It is the major cleaning before God's kingdom , to the great Sabbath . The doctrine of endless hell hit is as unchristian as pointless . The evil , which in its basic is a contradiction, that man rebels against his own inner law, it can not be indestructible . It must bend or go under . And we put up a hell where God's creatures will be tormented day and night without end , and without development or hope, that we sin worse than we know. It will only reinforce an ever more diabolical hatred of God and all that is good , and this senseless torment God sits and looks on in his salvation . Then we made ​​God , the Father himself, to the devil. (Article finish) .

Is Hell and the eternal burning fire a reality ?

Is Best Trick doctrine that we have been taught to believe in past most parish churches and correct? Let's take a few passages of the original text to illustrate this. Mat 25:46 " TheseG3778 will goG565 awayG565 into R1eternalG166 punishmentG2851 , but the righteousG1342 into R2eternalG166 lifeG2222 . " The scholars have not understood that " Punishment " primarily means "to punish" . For them to get it to fit with his hell doctrine, therefore, they translated " eternal torment " . Rev 8:10 p.m. And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone , where the east and the false prophet are also ; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

When we die as the body goes into decay . Because God will dead body in Gehenna , so I expect that there will not be anything left of it. If we use to " dead body ", " dying ", " to perish ," or " to be ruined " , so not so important . If your neighbor steals everything you have in the house, so I would say that you are completely ruined . And if anyone is wondering how much is left , so it's not that hard to figure out. God will not only destroy what is in the house , the soul , but also the house, the body. If we add together Mat 25:46 and Mat 10:28 , so everyone will understand that it is wrong to translate the " eternal punishment " in Matthew 25:46 . The word used here in Greek is aionios . Study the Bible says about this word quite right : it denotes that extends beyond the borders of the future . Do we see this word in conjunction with any other words of eternal so it could have been translated so . These will go away into pain of extinction , the righteous shall go away to the delight of receiving eternal life . Our Norwegian language and our understanding of the Bible makes many things are wrong . I see it very clearly the basis of my study of basic text , by talking to Jews about what the word actually means . By comparing all other passages that the Bible is crystal clear. All non- believers will cease to exist , but only those who tan their trust in the Lamb of God , both Old and New Testament have received eternal life and will live forever together with God the Father and our Savior Jesus Christ.

Furthermore , we read in the book of Revelation :

What about eternal torment in Revelation 20.10 which must be the last word as if those who believe in God to torment and destroy mankind and all the demons and Satan in the end? There is no word in Hebrew or Greek meaning " eternal " ( which never expires ) . In Jewish thought, which the Scriptures have their origin, are all seen in ages / n / ne / adj ; tidsalderlig . ... - Eph . 2; 7: How wild he ( YHWH ) in the coming ages (g : a rubbish aiosin ) show His overwhelming grace Wealth of kindness toward us in Yeshua HaMashiavch .. / 2 Tess . 1, 9 : .. their punishment ( the ugjenfødte ) a tidsalderlig ( aionion ) destruction away from Adonay's face and from His Glory and Power . The Hebrew , olam and the Greek , aion ( eon ) , signifying nothing "disappears on the horizon . Somewhat to man " incalculable . " It is only YHWH and Yeshua who know the time span's length, for every age - and the time length of the ages for each other , and the He reveals it through his Spirit , when it is easy . When it comes tidsalderlig torment of devil spirits and ugjenfødte / disobedient ) - in the age of all ( eoniske ) fire, so this represents a painful process of destruction (by fire) , resulting in complete obliteration / annihilation . It is only YHWH knows the duration ( the length ) of this punishment / destruction process .

This translation blunder hangs sometimes after church needs to ( " reinforce fear " - scare the population to pay indulgences and Support ( subordinate ) church and church doctrine . - Each is a product of Greek pagan - philosophical thought . In our time is the church Bible translators still too cowardly to translate Olam / Aion, accurate, age / eon / time-span / adjective ; tidsalderlig / eonisk / persistent / ( long) term . It is the churches and the church that pays their salary , and churches are dependent on maintaining " tradition " to exist, including the un- biblical and erroneous - deliberately !

I have certainly come to the conclusion that the words aion and olam both speak of an infinitely long period of time, which is also translated as forever, so we put in the word. When it comes to word aionos , so this seems to be used in the sense of infinity without end. But this is like saying difficult . I see that many ( the majority ) of Bible teachers and scripture has landed on the aionos means eternal and infinite . So do we have the phrase " Aion ton aionon " which means " forever " or "forever and forever." What I mean is that this "destruction " process will be as long lasting, it is natural to compare it with an eternity - because the fire burning all the time , as long as there is nothing to burn . It is therefore remarkable that it can be difficult to interpret the " hell fire " . It was a place outside Jerusalem , a disposal place called "Hell " ( Gehenna ) . This landfills burned continuous fire , to burn up the waste . It was also burned corpses of criminals. This place is in the New Testament and over in history , used as an image of the punishment that would come across people who do evil deeds. There was much evil in life, and the hope of many was that God would hold a righteous judgment . In a society marked by violence and injustice , eg . Ancient Israel , I think that's not so strange that people elaborate this with hell fire and punishment seem so terribly cruel as it is humanly possible to imagine . Penalties shall also act as a deterrent , and intends to get people with an "evil agenda" to refrain from their actions. For me , not a show about a good God could unite with him to let people be tortured continuously for all eternity, even if they have been guilty of evil acts. - But we have this righteousness . The presence of God will hold a fair trial ? How should this be interpreted ? I think this is the judgment that is " final" , that it is an end , not " perpetual " .

Conclusion :

Forever is a long and everlasting 2x correctly translated from Hebrew \ Greek is an age of time . Or a time that only God the Father knows. As Jesus said on his return that it knows only the Father when He comes again . Jesus is coming back at this era is over. So it is with the Father's ultimate destruction and tilintelsesgjørelse of all evil and Satan with his demons. It will take an age \ Era \ ( g: a rubbish aiosin ) to perform this work . We read in Scripture that night shall cease to represent evil, be biledelig speech that one day all traces of the evil and wicked deeds, and them being gone . Obvious. 22, 5 night will be no more , neither will they be used for the light of lamp or sun , for the Lord God will give them light . And they shall reign forever and ever .

God the Father himself knows the time and how this will happen, but the biblical doctrine is not eternal torment forever . But a literal annihilation that it happened to Sodom and Gomarra says Judas in his letter . Jude 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around, in like manner, giving themselves to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example , suffering the vengeance of eternal fire . What happened to Sodom and Gomarra ? They got a deadly criminal who destroyed them because contained living . 1.Mos.b.19 . 24 Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire - from the LORD out of heaven - down on Sodom and Gomorrah. 25 And he overthrew those cities and all the plain and all the inhabitants of the cities , and that which grew upon the ground . 27 Early in the morning Abraham went to the place where he had stood before the LORD. 28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, he saw the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a furnace. It was Sodom and Gomara blotted with an eternal flame. After what God's word teaches us about the eternal fire ! Most Christians believe today unfortunately the lie Satan basis , you should not delete die . The first and greatest lie . Within the Christian people , many believe that we live forever anyway, this has also pushed through a new lie , eternal hell of eternal torture , and God is portrayed as a cruel vindictive lunatic , worse than Hitler. The truth is that we are not deleted are immortal , the Bible leaves no doubt about this :

1 Tim 6:16 " The only one who is immortal , who lives in a light where no one can come, whom no man has seen and no one can see. Whom be honor and power everlasting , Amen ."

It is a lie , which allows for spiritualism , and other dangerous things. But what does the Bible really about this and about hell . Starting with Sodom and Gomorrah , even as the Bible says is an example of things to come . But the first few verses of Adam and Eve 's story: 22 The LORD God said , "Now , man is become as one of us , knowing good and evil. Only now it does not stretch out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat , and live forever ! " 23 Therefore the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden and put them to till the ground from which they were removed. 24 He chased the man out , and east of the garden he set the cherubim and the flaming sword that swung back and forth. They were to guard the way to the tree of life .

Sodom and Gomorrah :

Abraham knew that his nephew made ​​a big mistake when Lot chose to move his family to Sodom . The towns in the lower Jordan valley was beautiful and lush , but they were also very corrupt . Genesis 1:13 p.m. " The people of Sodom were wicked and sinners against the Lord." Finally, God decided to destroy and annihilate these sinful cities and people for their heinous acts, but first He sent two angels to Sodom to rescue Lot and his family. Before they went out of Sodom , took these angels wearing look like two wayfaring men. Lot saw the two handsome strangers when they first entered the gates , and knowing that the streets in the wicked city was far from safe at night, he urged them to seek refuge in his home. But evil people were looking everywhere, and that evening they gathered outside Lot's door and insisted that he take off his guests so that they can abuse them sexually. Lot tried in vain to reason with the perverted mob that gathered at his door . Their demonic obsession only grew, and soon began to threaten Lot crowd too! At this point the angels could not longer hide his true identity. pulled Lot into the house to safety and hit the mob at the door with blindness. Early the next morning , told the angels to Lot and his family , Genesis 7:17 p.m. . " When they had brought them out , one said : Fly for life. See ye not , and do not place anything on the plain , otherwise you will be swept away . Genesis 7:24 p.m. " Then the LORD brimstone and fire rained on Sodom and Gomorrah , from the Lord out of heaven ." Only Lot and his two unmarried daughters were spared , for his wife disobeyed and looked back at Sodom with longing and became a pillar of salt . God's Word tells us that in the last days , the world will be like Sodom and Gomorrah , but also the ultimate punishment . Jude 1:7 " In the same way it was with Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns , where they lived in adultery so that these angels , and in the perversion . They were punished with eternal fire and a cautionary example . " The Bible uses here (also in basic texts ) the same words when talking about hell, eternal fire. Burning of Sodom and Gomorrah and the other cities today? No. What two cities are given as an example for the destruction of evil? 2 Peter 2:06 " The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them and to destruction, he made ​​them a deterrent example for those who will later lead a wicked life." NOTE : God destroyed the two cities with the "eternal fire" says the Bible , the Bible also says that this is an example of the wicked punishment in the future. When the wicked will be destroyed? John 12:48 "He who rejects Me and does not receive My words , has still a judge : the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day ." 2 Peter 2:09 " Thus the Lord knows how to deliver the God-fearing of the trials, but hold the unrighteous for punishment on the Day of Judgment ." Matthew 13:40-42 " And as when the weeds are gathered and burned in the fire, so shall it be at the end of the world : the Son of Man will send his angels , and they shall gather together and take away from his kingdom everything that causes vertical and all evildoers . So they will be thrown into the fiery furnace there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth . " NOTE : In the above texts , the Bible says clearly that the wicked will be cast into the fire on the day of judgment , at the end of the world - not when they die . This of course means that no one is in hell now. It is only fair that no one is punished before the case is decided in the judgment when Jesus returns . If people somehow retrieved from the punishment they are started then, and get the verdict ? Jesus and the Bible is crystal clear that punishment and reward , comes on the last day, not so many now proclaim , that the dead are raised to heaven or to hell . Revelation . 10:12 p.m. "Behold I come quickly , and the salary I will give , I have with me. I will repay each one according to his works . " If the wicked who have died are not in hell yet, where are they? John 05:28-29 " Do not marvel at this , for the time is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice . They will then appear , and those who have done good will rise to live , but those who have done evil will rise to be condemned . Job 21:32-33 " They lead him to the grave , and the mound holding the guard. He rests in peace under the peat in the valley . All people follow , and an innumerable amount has gone before . "

NOTE : The Bible assures us here and many other places that the wicked who have died are reserved in the grave until the resurrection at the end of the world. They will hear the voice of Jesus calling them , and they will come forth from the grave , not from hell under full torture , or heaven , yet many Christians that there are people to punishment in hell today . What is the reward ( punishment ) for sin , the Bible says ? Romans 6:23 " the wages of sin is death , but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord ." NOTE : The penalty for sin is eternal life in torture , but the exact opposite - namely death. We all die the first death . Hebrews 9:27 "To all men must die once , and after this the judgment ." But the Bible says death the wicked shall die in hell is the second death . Revelation . 9:08 p.m. " But the cowardly , the unbelieving , the vile, the murderers , sexually immoral and Wizardry , the idolaters and all liars -their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, this is the second death ." After the first death , one is in custody in the grave and sleep ( eg Jesus said that Lazarus was asleep ) until Jesus calls all to be condemned , as there are only two possibilities, eternal death or eternal life in grace basis of Jesus Christ. Jesus took our punishment , He died , He was not tortured in the fires of hell for all eternity , did he ? What are the only two choices for all people ? John 3:16 " That whosoever believeth in him should not perish , but have everlasting life." NOTE : The terms around purgatory is not found in the Bible. The Bible teaches us only two choices - eternal life or eternal death , ie destruction. What will happen to the wicked in hell ? Psalm 37:20 " But the wicked will perish . As the beauty of the fields , disappearing Lord's enemies , they vanish like smoke . " Malachi 04:01-3 Behold, the day comes , it burns as a furnace . All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble , and the day that cometh shall burn them up , saith the Lord of hosts , so neither root nor branch is left . But for you who fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness drain with healing in his wings . You should go out and leap like calves released from the barn. And you shall tread down the wicked , they shall be as the dust under their soles that day I do my work , says the Lord Almighty . " Where would be hell ? Revelation 20:9 " They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city . But fire came down from heaven and devoured them . " It tells the Bible about the final showdown between good and evil. 2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief . Then the heavens will pass away with a resounding roar , the elements will catch fire and be consumed , and the earth and the works that are upon it shall come to light. NOTE : Hell will be here on earth , the earth on fire with fire rain as in Sodom , the final destruction of all sin , all sinners and the fallen angels and Satan. The redeemed will be safe inside the New Jerusalem now.

Will Satan be responsible in hell ?

No. The devil will be cast into the fire . The Bible says he will suffer most of all , before he was slain. See what else the Bible says about Satan. Ezekiel 28:18 " All the nations who knew you, shuddered at the sight of you. You have been to the horror , and away you Satan , destroyed forever . " The Bible is clear here and elsewhere . How can Satan be punished more than anyone, he destroyed , the people will be in a perpetual hell and burn forever as heresy claim ? Will the fire of hell ( rain of fire from heaven on the earth ) ever stop , for it is eternal ? Isaiah 47:14 " There shall be no coals to warm at, not a fire and sit by ." We are talking about the Bible by fire rain made ​​it properly, wipe out all evil once and for all . NOTE : After the sin , sinners , and all the evil on earth is destroyed , the fire will go out. It will not burn through all time and for all eternity . An eternal hell of torment would make it impossible and ever be rid of sin. God's plan is to isolate and destroy the sin , not preserve it . Revelation 9:05 p.m. says: " Behold, I make all things new ."

If both soul and body in hell broken ?

Matthew 10:28 " Fear not them which kill the body but can not kill the soul : but rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell ." NOTE : Many believe however that the soul never dies , but twice , God says : " The soul that sins , it shall die . " 6:04 p.m. Ezekiel 20 . So according to the Bible , the wicked will be destroyed in the shingles - both soul and body . For who infernal rain of fire be lit ? Matthew 25:41 Depart from me , ye cursed , into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels. NOTE : The purpose of the fire is to destroy Satan , his evil angels , and sin. If I refuse to turn me away from sin , I will have to be destroyed , because if sin is not destroyed and annihilated , it will again contaminate the universe . The Bible is clear that all sin and evil will be destroyed . Does not the Bible phrase " unquenchable fire" suggests not that the fire never goes out ? Matthew 3:12 " He will thoroughly cleanse his floor and gather his wheat in the garner , but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire." This is all done, and burn it on? No. NOTE : No! Unquenchable fire can not be extinguished , not until everything is burned away . But when everything is burned up , it goes out . How often do you see for example in the newspaper that a house was unquenchable ? I have seen many times , but the houses are not burning today , they extinguished when all burned up , but nobody could go out they , they were insatiable . For example , Jeremiah 5:27 p.m. warns that if God's people were not faithful , he would light the fire in Jerusalem with " unquenchable fire." And the Scripture declares that this prophecy has already been fulfilled . It burns not there today , the Bible is full of these examples. Does not "eternal fire" infinite ? Jude 1:07 " In the same way it was with Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns , where they lived in adultery so that these angels and their perversion . They were punished with eternal fire and has become a cautionary example . " NOTE : We must let the Bible explain itself. We can see clearly in this verse that Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by eternal fire as an example of hell, the Bible says so himself , but these cities are not burning still . They were turned into ashes. But the consequences of the fire is eternal. When Revelation 8:10 p.m. says that the wicked will be tormented " forever , " does not indicate the endless time ? Jonah 2:06 "To the mountain because I'm down for . Earth bars was about me for ever . " NOTE : No Jonah was in the belly of the great fish for three days and three nights (Jonah 1:17 ), but he said, " forever . " I 'm sure it felt like an eternity ! The Greek word translated " forever " in Revelation 8:10 p.m. is " Aion . " It often represents an unspecified period of time , limited or unlimited . words" forever "is used 56 times in the Bible and refers to something that is already closed . in one case , " for ever " describes the life of a faithful slave ( Exodus 21:6 ) , and in another place " forever " means 10 generations ( Exodus 11:03 p.m. ) . With people, " forever " often means "as long as he lives " ( 1 Samuel 1:22 , 28) . After sin and sinners are destroyed , what would Jesus do for his people? 2 Peter 3:13 " But according to His promise we wait for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness . " Revelation 9:04 p.m. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes , and there shall be no more death , neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain : for the former things have gone. NOTE : In the ashes of this purified world, God will create a new heaven and a new earth . He promises joy, peace, and indescribable joy for all living beings throughout eternity .

If sin problem ever rise again ?

Nahum 1:09 " What you 're up against the Lord, who can destroy you completely? Node does not come again . " NOTE : No! The promise is specific . Sin will never exist again, in God's universe . Isaiah 65:17 " For behold , I create I am a new heaven and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered , no one will think about it ." The term Gehenna is also used by Jesus. He says in Matthew 18:8,9 : - If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble , cut it off and throw it from you, it is better for you to get maimed or lame into life, than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire . And if your eye causes you to stumble , pluck it out and cast it from thee : it is better for you to enter one-eyed into life, than having two eyes to be cast into the fiery Gehenna . Jesus do not mean that literally will maim and blind themselves, but it may require drastic measures to resist temptation - as if you cut off a limb or tore out an eye . Being thrown into the fiery Gehenna = to be removed for ever , the second death . This is no resurrection from , unlike the Adamic death , where one can hope to life again by God. The Bible says that the dead are conscious of nothing - the memory of them is forgotten. This is in Ecclesiastes 9:5,6 . The dead are therefore without awareness, and can then also not agonize . So there is not a burning lake of fire hell where the devil torments the souls of the dead . ( Humans do not have a soul , there is a soul , according to the Bible. ) What is the lake of fire ? As said below here is the image. It is said that even the death and Hades will be thrown into the lake of fire . When something is burned up , it is gone . Lake of Fire is when an image that something is lost forever , including death and hell . Death will be no more , says in Revelation 21:3,4 . In verse 1 it says about a new earth . The Apostle Peter speaks of new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness . It does not mean that the physical earth and the atmosphere should be replaced, but it is a new world order under God's rule through Jesus Christ. In Jesus' day they burned the waste , animal carcasses and bodies of executed criminals in the Valley of Hinnom outside Jerusalem's walls , hence the name Gehenna - Hinnom , as a symbol of eternal annihilation - not eternal torment. This expression is only found in the book of Revelation , and it is clear that in the case of an image. The Bible defines itself what the lake of fire is a symbol , when it says : "This means the second death , the lake of fire . " - Revelation 20 : 14 , 21: 8 Admittedly, it says that the lake of fire is the second death in the traditional Norwegian translation of the Bible , but iom that "the beast and the false prophet " and " Death and Hades " will end up in what is here called " lake of fire" you understand that this death is a picture and the 'means' that these mentioned disposed in the sea. And if we know that the beast , the false prophet, death and Hades are not literal persons who are conscious , we also know that they can not feel physical pain. As GB Caird writes in A Commentary on the Revelation of St. John the Divine , it is in place so that the " lake of fire " means " annihilation and total oblivion ." It is also true that people may end up in the lake of fire . Jesus said , among other things the religious leaders of the day : " How can you avoid Gehenna READ : Lake of Fire judgment ? " In Revelation chapter 19 and 20 is who will be thrown into the lake of fire denominator , and here it is quite clear that the death , the same as Jesus overcame , the devil and there are false prophets among some . None of these will be left with an opportunity to live on, they will be defeated and destroyed . Throughout the New Testament it is written and act a lot about that on judgment day, the forces of good be so strong and cohesive that the forces of evil will be defeated. Evil has a power in itself that makes them unable to gather it goes against the nature of evil ! Houses to fall on houses. The lake of fire is thus the place that all the evil forces and fristere to get his end . Includes ultimately what God told Adam that shows that human will die, be separated and stop cease to exist if they fail to accept God 's offer of salvation in Jesus Christ. 1 Genesis 3 22 The LORD God said , "Now , man is become as one of us , knowing good and evil. Only now it does not stretch out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat , and live forever ! " 23 Therefore the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden and put them to till the ground from which they were removed. 24 He chased the man out , and east of the garden he set the cherubim and the flaming sword that swung back and forth. They were to guard the way to the tree of life . Man did not eat of the Tree of Life . Then they would live forever . Man after the fall is created to die . 1 Genesis 2 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying , "You may eat of all the trees in the garden. 17 And the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat , for in the day you eat of it you shall die . " People will die . But there is a way out of this. It is to accept Jesus as your personal Savior and Lord, then you will eat of the tree of life and live forever . For he is the eternal life and the tree of life . 1 Joh. b 5 9 We accept the testimony of men , but God's testimony is greater . For this is God's testimony : He has testified of his Son. 10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself . But he that believeth not God hath made him a liar , because he has not believed in God's own testimony about his Son . 11 And this is the testimony : God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He who has the Son has life , but whoever does not have the Son does not own lives. 13 These things have I written unto you that ye may know that ye have eternal life, you who believe in the Son of God . From janchristensen.net Bible commentary Revelation 22 2 Right between the city gate and the river is the tree of life , freely to both sides. It bears fruit twelve times and yields its fruit every month . And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. In eden garden were the tree of life and the tree of knowledge . Here are just a tree of life for the opportunity to sin, sin , disobedience and judgment is over. Now it's just a perpetual spring and summer that remain , which no one can fathom filled out. Just believe it and let it linger in the mind and heart ! The leaves are for the healing speaks of the disease there are but I do not think . It speaks of a perfection that is persistent. The medical verdict is for everyone in town . Eze 28:18 By the multitude of your iniquities , by your urettferdtige trade you profaned your sanctuaries. So I let the fire go out from thee , it shall devour thee , and I will make thee to ashes upon the earth in all their eyes that see thee . Eze 28:19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee , a terror , and you're gone - forever.

Satan , the Antichrist , the False Prophet , demons and all the people who do not accept Christ will be destroyed ! (Article finish) .

Thoughts on Hell doctrine !

The other day I was talking with some friends about the traditional doctrine of Hell . Here are 5 of my argument.

1 As you probably know, is not the word " hell " in the original text . The basic text is " Gehenna " which also was a garbage dump outside of Jerusalem . It was burned trash and the bodies of dead animals and criminals who were not worthy of any funeral. When Jesus talked about that we should " burn in Gehenna " Jews understood that he meant that sort of garbage and the carcasses burned and destroyed , so God will burn up and destroy the people who refuse to repent to God. No Jews envisioned torment when they thought of Gehenna . Neither the trash or the dead bodies " screamed for mercy " or tortured .

2 Now that we know what is Gehenna , namely a junkyard where one burns up trash and dead bodies , it becomes easier to understand the truth about Hell . For what happens in Hell ? Yes, mattter . 10:28 says: " Do not fear those who kill the body but can not kill the soul. Rather fear Him (God ) who can destroy both soul and body in hell ." Here we see that in Hell are body and soul destroyed or brought to nothing . As an ant gets pulverized if you put it between your palms and rub . It is gone. Or to use the example of Jesus , if anything thrown into Gehenna burn it simple her up .

3 The traditional doctrine of hell is that God will throw people in Hell ( Lake of Fire ) . It is right that he should make this THE CASE Bible , but the traditional teachings say is that God will torment when these people forever. It 's not right here is that this crash with God's morals and views on justice. Let me explain : In the Bible , God says that he wants " an eye for an eye . Tooth for tooth: This was a law that was fair. If you took a cow of mine had to give a cow back if you were taken for the deed . If I injured your eye , then yes , you could damage my etc. So this was a law based on justice. So one must then ask: Is it fair that a loving and just God punishes a 3 year old baby with Afgansk torture an eternity ? is it right that a 20 year old bush - man will be punished by God year after year in all eternity because he did not know anything about Jesus , is it right to give eternal torture that judgment when the offense was going against God will? No. Dom and sentencing must be in proportion to each other . Moreover, a loving God be involved in an " Eternal Auschwitz " basic common sense says that we should confine torturers ! God is not so. the Word of God says is that "the wages of sin is , Death " ( Rom.6 : 23). If someone dies in his sins, he will therefore not be tortured , but he will die ( Jemfør Gehenna and be ruined forever - Matt.10 : 28). for how can a loving God who asks us to love our enemies while PINE their enemies forever ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

4 When it says Eternal torment in our Bibles , it could just as easily have been eternal punishment. The important thing to understand with this word is that it can mean both torment and punishment ( plus some meanings to) . It is not torture is eternal , it is punishment . Let 's look at the ant again . It will not be tortured forever, but the punishment is eternal because it never comes back like ants. It's gone. It is destroyed. See, for example, Jude chapter 1 verse 7 It says that " Sodom and Gomorrah is an example of our eyes and suffer the punishment of eternal fire." But the fire is there now ? No. Should there be an eternal flame ? Yes. What voices? Jo : The punishment of Sodom and Gomorrah got was a " vengeance of eternal fire " - which means that these cities were burned up , but when they were burned up , stopped of course the fire burning ( we regard no fire or smoke where Sodom and Gomorrah is today - not true , moreover, there is no calling to plead for mercy in these cities today - they are gone - every man ...).

5 One last quick argument: If the Lake of Fire / Hell was a place they were tortured by God , why Revelation says that " Death and Hades " are thrown down there ? One can not PINE PINE death or the grave ! ! No, this scripture tells us instead that " Death and Hades " should be destroyed - annihilated . It should therefore not be found dead or Sheol in Paradise ! Jemfør Revelation 21 .

The result of such a doctrine exonerates Jehovah God from the charge that he might be evil , unfair and insensitive . It shows how loving , just and merciful He is . Moreover, this doctrine lead to the unsaved do not get offended God, but perhaps more easily see His sense of justice . They do definitely not with the traditional doctrine of hell ...

Well, here were some of my argument. It is worth noting that there were Catholics who invented this doctrine and that the apostate Christian churches have preached these in spectacular style with bram . Possible that it should ring some bells with us . (Article finish) .

One day God Father exterminate and annihilate all evil .

Obvious. 20th 11 I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it. Earth and sky melted away before him and was no longer . 12 And I saw the dead , great and small, standing before the throne , and books were opened. Then another book was opened , the book of life . And the dead were judged by what was written in the books , according to their works . 13 The sea gave now its dead , and death and Hades gave up the dead that were there , and all were judged according to their works . 14 Then death and Hades cast into the lake of fire - and the lake of fire , which is the second death . 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Jude 14 It was also about them that Enoch Adams descendant in the seventh paragraph , prophesied , saying , "Behold , the Lord came with his holy angels in their thousands 15 To execute judgment upon all, and claim all the wicked accountable for all the evil deeds they have done and for all defiant words they have made against him , the wicked sinners . " 16 They are rebels who complain about their fate, but live according to their desires. They brag and use big words and flatter others when they have the benefit of it. 2 Pet. 3 8 But one thing , my dear, do not forget what the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. 9 It is not that the Lord is slow to fulfill his promise , as some believe . No, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish , but that all should come to repentance . 10 day of the Lord will come like a thief . Then the heavens will pass away with a roar , the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up .

11 And now everything will fall apart , how holy and godly, you should not live , 12 while you are waiting for the day of God will come , and accelerate it. Then the heavens consumed by fire and the elements burn and melt. 13 But we look forward to what he has promised: a new heaven and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness . We have embarked on a very large topic but in this article, the main focus will be on what happens to all the wicked and unbelievers after death ? And especially in the end. Now when people die they come either to paradise or hell, waiting for either salvation or judgment . The believers into Paradise and non-believers to hell .

But until the end, what then?

I have been taught to believe (I have my background in the free friends \ Pentecostalism ) that people will be tormented for eternity . And learn and think one not become a heretic . But what teaches the word of God ? Jesus said it himself . Matt . 10th 28 Be not afraid of them that kill the body but can not kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Here it is right that the Father may destroy, destroy and destroy people in the lake of fire or hell . We read from the text that there are so man can kill and kill the body . But only God can dead \ kill \ destroy \ obliterate them both , soul and body ! We also Paul says about the same. Rooms . 6 23 The wages of sin is death , but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. When the wages of sin is death meaning separation so it must mean an eternal separation from God. And when we start comparing other scriptures we come to the conclusion that there is no question of eternal torment literally as an eternal punishment . But the extinction of all who do not have their names written in the Book of Life of the Lamb , even Satan and all evil spirits included. What about eternal torment in Revelation 20.10 which must be the last word as if those who believe in God to torment and destroy mankind and all the demons and Satan in the end?

There is no word in Hebrew or Greek meaning " eternal " ( which never expires ) . In Jewish thought, which the Scriptures have their origin, are all seen in ages / n / ne / adj ; tidsalderlig . ... - Eph . 2; 7: How wild he ( YHWH ) in the coming ages (g : a rubbish aiosin ) show His overwhelming grace Wealth of kindness toward us in Yeshua HaMashiavch .. / 2 Tess . 1, 9 : .. their punishment ( the ugjenfødte ) a tidsalderlig ( aionion ) destruction away from Adonay's face and from His Glory and Power . The Hebrew , olam and the Greek , aion ( eon ) , signifying nothing "disappears on the horizon . Somewhat to man " incalculable . " It is only YHWH and Yeshua who know the time span's length, for every age - and the time length of the ages for each other , and the He reveals it through his Spirit , when it is easy . When it comes tidsalderlig torment of devil spirits and ugjenfødte / disobedient ) - in the age of all ( eoniske ) fire, so this represents a painful process of destruction (by fire) , resulting in complete obliteration / annihilation . It is only YHWH knows the duration ( the length ) of this punishment / destruction process .

This translation blunder hangs sometimes after church needs to ( " reinforce fear " - scare the population to pay indulgences and Support ( subordinate ) church and church doctrine . - Each is a product of Greek pagan - philosophical thought . In our time is the church Bible translators still too cowardly to translate Olam / Aion, accurate, age / eon / time-span / adjective ; tidsalderlig / eonisk / persistent / ( long) term . It is the churches and the church that pays their salary , and churches are dependent on maintaining " tradition " to exist, including the un- biblical and erroneous - deliberately ! I have certainly come to the conclusion that the words aion and olam both speak of an infinitely long period of time, which is also translated as forever, so we put in the word. When it comes to word aionos , so this seems to be used in the sense of infinity without end. But this is like saying difficult . I see that many ( the majority ) of Bible teachers and scripture has landed on the aionos means eternal and infinite . So do we have the phrase " Aion ton aionon " which means " forever " or "forever and forever." What I mean is that this "destruction " process will be as long lasting, it is natural to compare it with an eternity - because the fire burning all the time , as long as there is nothing to burn . It is therefore remarkable that it can be difficult to interpret the " hell fire " . It was a place outside Jerusalem , a disposal place called "Hell " ( Gehenna ) . This landfills burned continuous fire , to burn up the waste . It was also burned corpses of criminals. This place is in the New Testament and over in history , used as an image of the punishment that would come across people who do evil deeds. - There was much evil in life, and the hope of many was that God would hold a righteous judgment . In a society marked by violence and injustice , eg . Ancient Israel , I think that's not so strange that people elaborate this with hell fire and punishment seem so terribly cruel as it is humanly possible to imagine . Penalties shall also act as a deterrent , and intends to get people with an "evil agenda" to refrain from their actions.

For me , not a show about a good God could unite with him to let people be tortured continuously for all eternity, even if they have been guilty of evil acts. - But we have this righteousness . The presence of God will hold a fair trial ? How should this be interpreted ? I think this is the judgment that is " final" , that it is an end , not " perpetual " .

Conclusion :

Forever is a long and everlasting 2x correctly translated from Hebrew \ grsk is an age of time . Or a time that only God the Father knows. As Jesus said on his return that it knows only the Father when He comes again . Jesus is coming back at this era is over. So it is with the Father's ultimate destruction and tilintelsesgjørelse of all evil and Satan with his demons. It will take an age \ Era \ ( g: a rubbish aiosin ) to perform this work . We read in Scripture that night shall cease to represent evil, be biledelig speech that one day all traces of the evil and wicked deeds, and them being gone . Obvious. 22, 5 night will be no more , neither will they be used for the light of lamp or sun , for the Lord God will give them light . And they shall reign forever and ever . God the Father himself knows the time and how this will happen, but the biblical doctrine is not eternal torment forever . But a literal annihilation that it happened to Sodom and Gomarra says Judas in his letter .

Jude 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around, in like manner, giving themselves to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example , suffering the vengeance of eternal fire . What happened to Sodom and Gomarra ? They got a deadly criminal who destroyed them because contained living . 1.Mos.b.19 . 24 Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire - from the LORD out of heaven - down on Sodom and Gomorrah. 25 And he overthrew those cities and all the plain and all the inhabitants of the cities , and that which grew upon the ground . 27 Early in the morning Abraham went to the place where he had stood before the LORD. 28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, he saw the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a furnace. It was Sodom and Gomarra blotted with an eternal flame. After what God's word teaches us about the eternal fire ! It has all the people waiting to have their names written in the Book of Life of the Lamb . An eternal destruction as they got. It was like a furnace.

How will it happen with all the wicked in the judgment understands the white throne who do not have their names written in the book. Everything that came in there melted and became " a " with the bathroom. How will it be done to the wicked at the day of judgment . Matt.3 . 12 he has his fan is in his hand , and he will cleanse his floor and gather his wheat laden , but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.

fire

When it comes to faith , we will not understand sentence . But our lives will be judged and we can lose pay or receive a full reward This is the biblical teaching about the eternal fire . What I mean is that this "destruction " process will be as long lasting, it is natural to compare it with an eternity - because the fire burning all the time , as long as there is nothing to burn . And the pain will of God the Father heart something very like have provided a solution for all people. And Jesus will also suffer when his sacrifice was for all . For us men have by far the greatest suffering and anguish be with this if we do not get our fleshly family with the path to heaven and all the other people that we care about and love !
